Global Food System

The global food system encompasses all the processes involved in producing, processing, distributing, and consuming food worldwide. It includes farming, transportation, storage, retail, and consumption, connecting producers and consumers across different regions. This system is influenced by factors like climate change, trade policies, technology, and consumer preferences, affecting food availability, quality, and affordability. A resilient food system ensures enough nutritious food for all, while also addressing environmental sustainability and social equity. Understanding this interconnected network helps us see how decisions in one area can impact global food security and the health of our planet.
